Nice new rule. I like how he also mentions the use of information real estate, 
BTW you can ease in an idea even if you have tons of text on screen, no reason 
to withhold extra [important] information:

"The website looks dated
True, but consistent with the spirit of the contest, simplicity trumps 
complexity. I also disapprove of modern webpages, where sometimes only a couple 
of words fit on a FullHD screen, because the screen estate has been wasted with 
irrelevant graphics, gigantic font size, and worst of all, empty space. 
Generally I prefer function over form, information over design, content over 
marketing, relevance over art, and this site is (hopefully) functional and 
informative with a lot of relevant content. Fashion comes and goes, but like 
ASCII, HTML will be around forever. Modern website building tools offer a lot 
of (irrelevant) functionality, but they rely on sophisticated back-ends and 
protocols, and typically are around for a decade or two, and then something 
breaks or one has to switch to a new tool. I neither have time nor patience nor 
sympathy for that. Finally, I actually like the nostalgic look of good old html 
websites."
